Mad Hatters Tea Party - Wonderland Magic

If you’re looking for something playful, immersive, and a little bit delightfully unhinged, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party brings a dose of Wonderland magic to Sydney with a high-energy circus cabaret experience that invites the audience right into the madness.


This is not a sit-back-and-watch kind of show. From the moment you arrive, you’re swept into a topsy-turvy world where teacups wobble, rules dissolve, and the line between performer and audience disappears.



What Is Mad Hatter’s Tea Party?


Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is an interactive circus-cabaret designed for adults, families, and anyone who enjoys theatre with humour, spectacle, and a sense of chaos done well.


Expect a fast-paced blend of:

  • World-class circus performance

  • Physical comedy and audience interaction

  • Acrobatics, juggling, balance acts, and high-flying movement

  • Characters straight out of Wonderland — each with their own eccentric twist


Audience members don’t just watch the party unfold — they’re encouraged to join in.


Meet the Characters of Wonderland

Throughout the performance, you’ll encounter a cast of familiar (and mischievous) faces, including:

  • The perpetually frazzled White Rabbit

  • The bossy Red Kween

  • The grinning Cheshire Cat

  • The unpredictable March Hare

  • The Tweedle twins in full wobble

  • The smoke-blowing Caterpillar


Every character leans into humour and physical performance, making the show engaging for both children and adults.


VIP High Tea Experience

For those wanting something extra, Ringside VIP Tables offer a seated high tea experience served during the show. Guests enjoy a selection of sweet treats alongside mocktails, juices, or cocktails while the circus unfolds just metres away.


It’s an ideal option for:

  • Birthday celebrations

  • Family outings

  • A unique night out in Sydney


Creative Direction

The production is directed by Mike Finch, former Artistic Director of Circus Oz, bringing a strong pedigree of contemporary circus and theatrical storytelling to the experience.
